Please note this hotel is in Manhattan, but it is on the lower side of Manhattan, so it should be a short cab ride into Dumbo, Brooklyn.

Flight

Laguardia Airport

NYC has 3 major airports, but Laguardia is our favorite and most reliable. Once you leave the airport, you can stand in line for a yellow cab or call an uber/lyft on your phone from the luggage pickup area. It should take around 30-50 minutes to drive from Laguardia to Dumbo, Brooklyn.

Flight

JFK Airport

JFK is our second favorite airport in NYC. Cab ride from JFK to Dumbo, Brooklyn would be about 30-60 minutes, depending on traffic.

Flight

Newark Airport

Newark airport is another great choice for flights. But note that it would be a bit of a further drive. Once you arrive in Newark airport, you can either take a yellow cab/lyft/uber to Dumbo or you can take a train into Penn Station then take a yellow cab/lyft/uber to Dumbo, Brooklyn. This would probably be our third choice for airports in NYC.

Train

Subway

Anywhere you're traveling in NYC, you should have an option to take the subway. You can tap your credit card to get into the subway, then put your destination into maps on your phone, click subway, and your maps will tell you what trains to take and what stops to get off. Most trains have wifi, but make sure you put in the address ahead of time just in case you lose wifi temporarily. Rides are around $3 flat rate. Always leave an extra 20 minutes if you are using the subway to get somewhere, as there are sometimes delays.

Travel Note

Lyft/Uber/Curb/Taxi

We tried to plan the events as close together as possible to limit transportation. But taking a car often sounds better than walking, especially when your beautiful heels are not also comfortable. So download these 3 apps ahead of time to make getting a car easy. Go to the app store and download Lyft, Uber, and Curb. When you're ready to get a car to take you somewhere: open the app, type in your destination, and choose the car you want. You should only have to wait about 5-10 minutes. Or if you see a yellow cab with its light on, stick out your hand and call it over to you. On Lyft/Uber/Curb, you can enter your credit card info and save it in the app, so you can quickly pay for a car. I am not a Lyft/Uber/Curb ambassador but believe in planning ahead :)
